First 'Baywatch' Trailer

Trending News: The 'Baywatch' Trailer Is 100% Guaranteed To Make You Smile

Quick Take

I don't remember much of the original Baywatch, other than that at least a couple of of the starlets posed in Playboy back when that was becoming a thing you could find on the internet. I don't think anyone considered it a particularly good show, which is why the prospect of a Baywatch movie in 2016 seemed so dicey. But if the trailer is anything to go by, this could be what the show never was.

It's pretty clear from the outset that the movie doesn't take itself too seriously, and that's a good thing. There are ample jokes about boobs, running in slow motion and the general ridiculousness of the kinds of things that seem to happen to the Baywatch lifeguards only. Dwayne Johnson brings his trademark rough-edged silliness, and Zac Efron is fast becoming a legit comedy star, whether you're jealous of his physique or not (you are).

And of course, there's plenty of eye candy, because it wouldn't be Baywatch without it. Alexandra Daddario is so hot she could combust at any moment, and if you watch it without blinking, you'll peep Charlotte McKinney and her, uh, assets in there was well.

All in all, 10/10, will definitely make plans to go see it and then end up renting it on demand.

Drop This Fact

The original Baywatch was the only TV show in Iceland's TV history to receive massive complaints from viewers over containing subtitles (for the text would get in the way of 'vital' parts of the imagery).
